Totally 30 species belonging to two subfamilies (Buprestinae and Agrilinae) and 8 genera were collected and identified. Of these 1 species is new for Iranian fauna and 19 species are new for Kurdistan Province. Key words: Buprestidae; Iran; Kurdistan; new records INTRODUCTION The Buprestidae is the eighth largest family of Coleoptera with many extant buprestids common and abundant in their respective habitats (Pan et al., 2011). Investigations on family of Buprestidae have not only theoretical but also great practical importance. There are many dangerous pests of fruit trees, forest trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants among buprestidae (Sakalian and Langourov, 2004). These insects are wood-boring as larvae, with the immature forms slowly tunneling through a variety of woody tissues of many tree and shrub species and some of them are leaf miner. The Buprestidae is comprised of nearly 14900 valid species (Bellamy, 2009) by six subfamilies (Bellamy 2008). Totally, 428 species belonging to 6 subfamilies are recorded from Iran in quite recently published catalogue of the Buprestidae of Iran (Ghahari et al ., 2015); this catalogue generalized previously published data of several survey works on Iranian fauna as well as of publication of wider geographical scale (Rikhter, 1949, 1952; Salavatian, 1950; Farahbakhsh, 1961; Radjabi, 1968, 1974, 1991; Bily, 1983, 2006a; Abaei and Adeli, 1984; Behdad, 1988; Modarres Awal, 1997; Borumand, 2002, 2004; Ghahari et al., 2008; Ghahari and Bellamy, 2008; Barimani Varandi et al ., 2009; Jendek & Grebennikov, 2011; Baiocchi, 2011; Ghobari et al ., 2012; Abaei, 2014, etc.). Present paper is continuing our studies on Buprestidae of Kurdistan (Ghobari et al ., 2012) and is dedicated to the subfamilies Buprestinae and Agrilinae. 146 species from these subfamilies are listed in catalogue of the Buprestidae of Iran (Ghahari et al ., 2015), and only 15 species are cited for Kurdistan (including 1 species reported as “generally distributed” in Iran). MATERIAL AND METHODS Material was collected in 2009-2011 in different regions of Kurdistan Province in ecosystems with different types of vegetation (rangelands, oak forests, gardens, etc.). Traditional collecting methods were used: sweeping on grass vegetations, beating of branches of trees and bushes, hand collecting, *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ©2016 FERDOWSI UNIVERSITY OF MASHHAD , IRAN 158 IRANIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL BIOSYSTEMATICS Vol.12, No.2 Trapping technique using different kinds of traps (colored sticky traps, pan traps and window trap) [Bellamy, 2000; Oliver et al. , 2004 and Sakalian & Langourov, 2004) was applied as well. Data on general distribution, taxonomy and nomenclature are given according to Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera [Bily, 2006b; Jendek, 2006; Kubaň, 2006a, b and Kubaň & Kalashian, 2006]. Data on distribution in Iran are presented according to Catalogue of Ghahari et al . (2015). RESULTS The results of the study of material collected are presented. In total, 30 species from two subfamilies, Buprestinae and Agrilinae, were collected and identified. Of these, 1 species is new for Iranian fauna and 19 species are new for Kurdistan Province.
